Orient and neighbours Dagenham & Redbridge will replay at Brisbane Road on November 16th with the winner on the night progressing to the 2nd round of the FA Cup after a hard fought draw today at Victoria Road.

Alex Revell gave the O’s the lead just before half-time but the daggers drew level within a minute conceding a 25 yard free kick from Danny Green. Dean Cox could have grabbed a winner in the second half but Chris Lewington denied him.

After the narrowest of 1-0 wins, Wednesday manager Alan Irvine admitted “we didn’t play well but we won 1-0, at the end fo the season that could be three useful points.
O’s manager Russel Slade said he was proud of the performance despite losing 1-0. You can hear both reactions and a match report from the BBC here

Following the 0-0 home draw with Walsall on Tuesday, the O’s now make the trip to Boundary Park looking for a third consecutive clean sheet and the chance to string together a run of form to dig them away from the bottom of the table.

O’s skipper Stephen Dawson has warned his team mates to prepare for spoiler tactics as he faces up to old team ate Paul Dickovs side.

Speaking to the Hackney Gazette he said “It might be another scrappy game. I don’t think they’ll let us play football, so we’ll have to be on our very best game to get anything out of it. It’s a tough place to go.”

Orient haven’t won at Boundary park since 1986. One plus factor for away fans is there will be no vuvusela’s in teh ground as Oldham have banned them!!
